When I have a bag of heading-South-fast avocados, I usually do one of two things: I put one in my bag and let it roll around for a day or so before pulling it out and making an ad hoc toast lunch, or I mash together a massive batch of guacamole. Not KatieQ: When she has extra avocados lying around, she turns them into fudgy ice pops, or fries, or pesto. Take her lead and try out some of her best tips for putting ripe avocados to use (but if you want some tips for toast or guac, we have those, too). Here are three of our favorite tips of hers, and one new one.
